"We gotta start having standards. I don’t understand why being a fan of something now means we have to accept slop."This is something I've wondered for a long ass time. Why is it bad to have standards? Does being fan mean you must accept everything a creator/company churns out? Is it wrong for a customer to tell a creator/company they aren't pleased with the direction something that they've been fans of for a long time?"Oh, you're not gonna buy this game because it has shit writing in it that goes against the tone of the series? You were never a fan!"Huh? Isn't being autistically critical of your favorite series something you're supposed to do as a fan? Or does being a fan mean you must enjoy the thing no matter what and you must never ever say anything bad about it?Context: https://x.com/Critical_Scribe/status/1989877258052350213?s=20

@DingusTheStrix "Metroid is a pretty niche series and fans who waited 18 years will not care."I don't know who that "Jonlibo" guy is, but he has to be smoothbrained to think Metroid is "Niche", and people waiting 18 years for prime 4 since the original teaser haven't starved more than Half-Life 3 fans.

@SledgeThe0utcast @DingusTheStrix I've heard a similar thought process from someone praising Predator Badlands. "Predator has been the same movie about escaping the space hunter for a long time. Now no one cares about it. I liked Badlands because it's a renovation of the character."Like, dude! If you don't care something is respected, don't call yourself a fan!In the case of that one, he's projecting his lack of respect onto everyone.I hate tourists so much.
